Versatile Mage: Xuanwu Pendant, invincible shield counterattack!

Chapter 97 Departure to Jinlin
.........

A few days passed quietly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day of the exchange student meeting.

In other words, it is the day when the training location is announced.

Experience is very important for every magician in school.

Therefore, even if the school does not require training, some people who want to really stand out will choose a path of training on their own. After all, they all want to become a real strong person in actual combat!
"Jinlin City?"

"where is that?"

Listening to the words of Principal Songhe of the Imperial Capital, all the students except Lu Xia were a little confused.

"It's a city that was wiped off the map."

Sighing, Songhe said slowly.

"Erase? What do you mean?"

Song Xia frowned and asked.

"Well, that's right, erasure, that was 15 years ago."

Songhe said with some emotion.

"Due to the over-proliferation of demons in the Dongting Lake Plain, a large number of demons overflowed. The first place they attacked was the relatively remote Jinlin City."

"But fortunately, there was a mage who noticed this demonic disaster while practicing in the wild at that time, and asked the government to evacuate all the people in Jinlin City in advance."

"On the second day of the evacuation, the entire Jinlin City was completely transformed into a demon's lair overnight, completely changed beyond recognition."

"Many people who were not evacuated in time were buried there forever."

Speaking of this past event, Song He couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh? Demons attacking the city?"

"It seems like there is someone in our team who has encountered this kind of situation, right?"

Luo Song in the team showed no empathy at all. Instead, he turned his attention to Mo Fan and spoke sarcastically.

"Didn't anyone tell you that I'm from Bo too?"

Lu Xia glanced back at Luo Song and said lightly.

"!!!"

Luo Song suddenly stiffened, shrank his head, and did not dare to speak.

"And your training mission this time is to collect data from the entire Jinlin City."

"Count the number of monsters there."

"After all, although most of the demons there have migrated away, there are still some demons who regard it as their lair."

Songhe told everyone about the goals of this training mission.

Everyone immediately started whispering among themselves.

Going to the demon's lair to collect data... This is not an easy job.

If they meet the leader, they will all be defeated.

After explaining the specific mission content to everyone, Songhe dismissed everyone and asked them to go back and rest for a day before setting off to practice tomorrow.

"Lu Xia, aren't you afraid at all?"

"That's the demon's lair!"

Looking at Lu Xia, who had a calm face from beginning to end, Zhao Manyan shook his shoulders and said in horror.

"Why, you can't go if you're afraid of me?"

Lu Xia glanced at him and said pretending to be confused.

"........."

"Then you won't just be so calm, right? You should at least be worried, right?"

Zhao Manyan said dumbfounded.

"Worried?"

"Then we really have to worry about whether the alliance between Mingzhu and Imperial City is right or wrong." "Worrying about whether we will have internal strife."

Lu Xia said calmly, but he remembered how difficult it was to deal with several people in the two teams in the original work.

Later, the spider's ability killed all his teammates.

But Zhao Manyan didn't know. He fell silent after hearing Lu Xia's answer.

Shouldn't he talk to Lu Xia about such a completely meaningless topic?

"Okay, let's go, go back and rest, we will set off tomorrow."

.........

There was no talking all night, and in the early morning of the next day, everyone arrived at the meeting point on time.

Everyone first got on the bus to the airport, and then transferred to the airport and arrived at Kangning City, the nearest city to Jinlin City.

On the way back, a total of 17 people from Pearl Academy and Imperial Academy were required to walk on foot into the Golden Forest. After all, if they didn't have the strength to drive a roaring vehicle into the demon's lair, it was no different than seeking death.

Along the way, Jingjing, a top student in the team who claimed to have the gift of photographic memory, began to introduce the situation around Jinlin City...

"We agreed in advance that since the school requires us to cooperate to complete this training mission, the 17 of us must have some rules. I will be the commander-in-chief of the Imperial Capital Academy. You, the Pearl Academy, will discuss a commander-in-chief among you. When the time comes, the two of us will Let’s discuss the direction of the team together.”

As everyone walked on the deserted road, Lu Zhenghe was not polite at all and directly showed his identity as the leader of the imperial capital.

He originally wanted to lead together with Mingzhu, but thinking of Lu Xia's terrifying strength, he still did not choose to commit suicide.

Based on his inquiries in the past few days, he not only learned about Lu Xia's natural talent, but also about his series of terrifying achievements in Mingzhu, as well as his terrifying high-level cultivation.

Everyone at the Imperial Capital Academy naturally had no objection to Lu Zhenghe being the captain.

Everyone in Mingzhu turned their attention to Lu Xia, who was doing nothing.

"Huh? Why are you looking at me?"

"The captain will continue to be the original temporary captain."

After looking around at everyone, Lu Xia said.

"What, me?"

Song Xia was a little surprised when she heard that Lu Xia had given up the captaincy to her.

"What do you think?"

Lu Xia didn't reply, but looked at the others.

Although they were a little confused, seeing that it was Lu Xia's suggestion, several people naturally did not refute it and raised their hands and feet in agreement.

Regarding this, not only Mingzhu, but also everyone in the Imperial Capital Academy was puzzled.

But they didn't have the guts to ask any more questions.

With the confirmation of the team leader, Lu Zhenghe and Song Xia also discussed the route.

After more than ten minutes of discussion, everyone finally decided on a route, which was to continue walking along this abandoned railway track.

The people who are undergoing this training are all the elites from the two top universities. Their courage and strength are not comparable to those of the flowers in the greenhouse. Everyone is secretive and must have strong outdoor abilities, so it stands to reason. It should be smooth sailing along the way.

After walking for a while, everyone came to a tunnel.

"According to records, this tunnel is two kilometers long. Judging from the frequency of demons we have encountered before, this tunnel is likely to be inhabited by demons."

"So my suggestion is to go directly over this mountain and don't deal with unknown species and unknown numbers of creatures in this unknown cave."

After looking at the map in her hand, Song Xia suggested.

But after hearing this, Lu Zhenghe had a different story.

"I said you, Pearl, are being too cautious, aren't you?"

"It doesn't matter what's inside him, just kill him all the way!"

Lu Zhenghe raised his head and said confidently.

"Kill it?"

Lu Xia, who had been silent until now, spoke and looked at Lu Zhenghe with doubtful eyes.
